Located approximately 18 km away from Lampang, it is one of the most exquisite temples of Thailand. The temple is built on a hill top in picturesque surroundings in the midst of rice fields. It is believed to have been constructed around 650-700 AD during the time of princess Chama Devi, as the ornamentation of the temple dates back to that era. Bullet marks are still conspicuous, and has served as a hiding place from harsh invaders, due to its high fortress like walls. The northern and eastern section has flights of steps going up with balustrades adorned by a multi-headed Naga revealing a Burmese connection. Two majestic lion statues stand at the foot of the staircase.
